Happy New Year and welcome to the start of the Twisted Roots MAL! I still can’t believe that it’s 2021 already, I feel like I am in a bizarre time warp where time moves too slowly and too quickly all at the same time! It’s not just me, right? Anyway, I’m so happy to be sharing this project with you …

I’m so happy to finally show you my Sliding Tiles Blanket. Yes, it has a name! I put a call out to my Scheepjes Bloggers to help me think of a name, and after some discussion, Simy Somer mentioned that it reminded her of one of those sliding tile puzzles we used to do back in the day, remember those?! Maybe some …

Not by a long shot! I’m exactly the opposite of that, in fact! I see a lot of makers talking about how they have all these WIPs, …

The socks are finished but I don’t have proper photos or the pattern written up just yet, but I do have some WIP photos and info to share.

Yesterday Scheepjes announced their new yarn, Whirl Fine-Art, which is taking Whirl to a whole new level! It still has the long, beautiful colour changes we all love, but now in a Superfine Merino blend in DK weight. It is the same blend as in the Merino Soft line, which means they are a perfect match for using together in whatever gradient project …

Hello friends! Wow, it really has been a spectacularly long time, hasn’t it? As usual, so much has changed since I last wrote, I don’t even know where to begin. We’ve moved AGAIN, and are now living in the very south of France in the city of Montpellier. It was a very rough year, 2019, for various reasons, which lead to this …
